The best portal to buy and sell J2ME applications

Question

There are so many application stores for any platform, but when I try to find a good store to buy and sell j2me applications, I find some, but not very large or de facto standard, as I used to have for palm os (sites such as palmgear, sell almost every program ever made for the palm, not just a subset of it).

Is there a store that I haven't found yet? Or is the j2me market dead?

Answer 1

There is no standard app store for j2me apps, and neither one nor the other until Apple comes up with an iPhone. Starting with the Apple sotre app, almost all manufacturers have created one, such as OVI for Nokia, AppWorld for BlackBrry, and the Windows Mobile Marketplace . Sun also came up with the Java Store , but it only targets desktop apps at the moment.

Since there was a clear void, many companies have created stores for mobile applications, most of which support non-j2me applications (Windows Mobile, Symbian, etc.). The two largest are Handango and GetJar . Of the new stores, OVI and AppWorld are selling j2me apps. Other stores like PocketGear and MobiHand sell BlackBerry apps, but not pure j2me.

Given that most applications in j2me are sold through portals or stores of operators (for example, AT & T Media Mall) or pre-installed on the devices themselves. The result of this is that it’s rather difficult to sell the j2me application compared to the arena of smartphones (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, etc.).

Answer 2

GetJar is pretty much the only cross-platform J2ME app store that I would be comfortable with relying on as a developer.

Then I will immediately go to the applications of mobile network operators and phones.

Answer 3

Nokia Ovi Store? It seems that the only thing that was really actively moving forward and quite large.

Answer 4

What about Handango?

See the Handango for Java ME IM + webpage for a Skype application as an example.

Answer 5

There is one link here that seems to contain a good collection of mobile apps for J2ME devices not mentioned in any of the previous posts.
